Chapter 390: How Did You Identify the Traitor?
As soon as Xiao Yun's words fell, everyone present couldn't help but be taken aback. Seriously, this guy is quite the joker. Who would admit to being a traitor?
He even wants to treat the traitor to White Rabbit Creamy Candy and Mud Horse. Is he playing with children?
Old Dragon's facial muscles twitched several times, and Long Yan, standing nearby, almost burst out laughing at his words.
"What's wrong? No one is raising their hand?" Xiao Yun spat out the smoke from his mouth and, as if performing a magic trick, pulled two pieces of candy from his pocket, unwrapped them, and tossed them into his mouth. The sound of him chewing was unusually loud as he puffed out his cheeks.
His demeanor seemed intentionally teasing.
In fact, Xiao Yun had no particular fondness for candy. He had noticed that the two Island Nation Ninjas he fought against were carrying a lot of candy on them. Using a technique to retrieve items from a distance, he had secretly taken the candy from them.
He originally intended to give the candy to Long Yan but got caught up in banter with her and forgot about it.
The Dragon House Guards in the courtyard stood upright under the bright moonlight, completely unfazed by his candy antics.
This made Xiao Yun feel quite embarrassed; he could only look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle in disappointment. Fortunately, he had a strong resilience to setbacks. He sighed deeply and quickly focused his gaze on two young men in the lineup. He pointed at them and said, "Hey, you two chubby-faced guys, come out and tell me your names!"
The two young guards were startled by his words and hesitated before stepping out of the lineup.
One of them shouted, "My name is Zhao Jiabao!"
The other followed up with, "I am Han Tiancheng!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun nodded and walked around them in a circle before speaking softly, "Tell me, why are you two acting as traitors?"
"We are not traitors!" the two of them said in unison.
Smack!
Before the two could finish their words, Xiao Yun unexpectedly slapped them twice.
Whoosh—smack...
The two extremely burly young men were actually sent flying off the ground by Xiao Yun's slaps, flipping in mid-air before crashing down to the ground.
They immediately hit the cement floor, leaving them bruised and bloodied, spitting out blood from their mouths.
The Dragon Manor guards in the courtyard were all dumbfounded, witnessing how this person named Xiao had turned two skilled fighters into a mess with just two slaps. Was this even human?
Old Dragon's eyes instantly filled with murderous intent as he glared at the two Dragon House Guards on the ground, demanding, "Are you two the traitors?"
Zhao Jiabao and Han Tiancheng hurriedly scrambled to their feet and knelt before Old Dragon, crying and pleading, "Old Dragon, we’re sorry! It was Hua Fengchun who forced us; we..."
Bang! Bang!
Before they could finish their sentence, Old Dragon drew a gun from his waist and shot both of them in the head. Seeing the two corpses lying on the ground, Xiao Yun couldn't help but shake his head and mutter, "I invited you to eat White Rabbit Creamy Candy, but you insisted on eating Old Dragon's peanuts. Sigh, truly a dog that doesn't know how to appreciate kindness!"
While Xiao Yun was lamenting, Old Dragon's face turned ashen as he shouted at the Dragon Manor guards, "I never expected that my esteemed Dragon House Guards would have two traitors who could be bought off by someone else. How will I maintain my face in the future?"
"You are mistaken!" Xiao Yun suddenly interrupted Old Dragon.
Old Dragon looked at Xiao Yun with a slightly bewildered expression and asked, "Xiao Yun, what did I say wrong?"
Xiao Yun smiled and glanced at the Dragon House Guards, saying, "Actually, among your Dragon Manor's guards, there are not just two traitors, but three!"
Three?
Upon hearing Xiao Yun's words, Old Dragon's face twitched.
At that moment, someone stumbled forward from the ranks of the Dragon House Guards, raising his right hand and crying out to Xiao Yun in a pleading tone, "Xiao warrior, I want to eat White Rabbit Creamy Candy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man fell to his knees in front of Xiao Yun, begging like a greedy child, "I want to eat White Rabbit Creamy Candy..."
"Do you really want to eat it?" Xiao Yun asked, looking at the man beneath him as if teasing a monkey.
The man nodded eagerly and said, "I want to eat it!"
Xiao Yun shook his head and replied, "It's too late now; I have to save these candies for my woman!"
Old Dragon glared at the kneeling man, trembling with anger as he shouted, "Feng Yang, you were an orphan raised by me. I thought I treated you well, yet you betrayed me?"
Feng Yang bowed repeatedly to Old Dragon, crying out, "Old Dragon, I'm truly sorry. It's all my fault for being greedy; I'm not human... Old Dragon, give me a chance to correct my mistakes. I don't want to die. Please spare me..."
Bang... another gunshot rang out, and a blood hole burst open on Feng Yang's head as he collapsed to the ground, no longer making a sound.
Damn, Old Dragon kills people like he's killing chickens, not even blinking!
Xiao Yun glanced at the Dragon House Guards; they stood still like mountains as if nothing had happened.
Old Dragon clenched his gun tightly and glared at the three bodies lying on the ground. Then he coldly addressed the Dragon House Guards, "I have publicly announced that Xiao Yun is dead. Anyone who leaks that Xiao Yun is still alive will find these three lying here as their example. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the Dragon House Guards replied in unison.
Old Dragon waved his hand and said, "You all handle these three corpses and then disperse!"
After that, Xiao Yun and Long Yan followed Old Dragon back to the living room.
Xiao Yun said, "Old Dragon, is it really necessary for me to be 'dead'?"
Old Dragon replied, "It is necessary. Xiao Yun, if you are not 'dead', the remnants of the Flower Family will seek revenge. Even if they can't deal with you, they will definitely target the women around you. How can you then feel at ease to go to the Island Nation to search for the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror? Therefore, only if you are 'dead', will they give up!"
Hearing Old Dragon say this, Xiao Yun couldn't help but admire his meticulous thinking; he had considered the matter very thoroughly. Indeed, the incident he caused in Beijing was too significant. Once that Roster from the Shadow Empire was handed over, it would be a complete uprooting of the Flower Family. How could the remnants of the Flower Family let it go so easily?
If he went abroad and the remnants of the Flower Family truly targeted the women around him, he wouldn't be able to save them in time. After all, it's easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden one.
At this moment, Long Yan, who had been standing silently on the side, coldly scrutinized Xiao Yun and asked, "Xiao, how did you identify Feng Yang and the others as traitors?"
Upon hearing Long Yan mention this question, Old Dragon immediately looked at Xiao Yun; it was also a question on his mind. How did this kid spot three traitors among those people at a glance?
"Can I choose not to answer you?" Xiao Yun retorted angrily at Long Yan.
Xiao Yun secretly cursed, Mud Horse, I'm your fiancé, okay? What do you mean by 'Xiao'? Don't I have a name?
